Arkham Horror: The Card Game is a Living Card Game that blurs RPG and card game boundaries, immersing 1-4 players (requiring two Core Sets for four) as flawed investigators in Lovecraftian Arkham. Custom decks embody talents and weaknesses—such as Necronomicon echoes, compelled cover-ups, or cult scars—serving as resources to confront cultists, foul rituals, haunted houses, strange creatures, and encroaching Ancient Ones. Unlike standalone adventures, gameplay centers on interconnected campaigns where choices yield lasting repercussions: physical/mental scars, sanity erosion, environmental alterations like incinerated buildings, and earned experience for future preparedness, deepening the horror of unraveling cosmic mysteries. ---
